All the references you create in the Reference Center can be saved to your reference library, called My References. This library allows you to use and reuse references across different papers and assignments in annotated bibliographies, citations, and formatted reference lists.
When you select Add References you will see three ways to add references to My References:
Create references using reference-generating forms.
Import references using RIS files from reference management software or databases.
Search references adapted from APA PsycInfo that cover the major works of psychology and behavioral sciences. Search for a word that is found in the reference, such as an author surname, publication title, or keyword in an article title.
Each paper in the Writing Center has its own Paper Reference List in the Cite References tab below the body of your paper. Access it to add, delete, edit, and sort references for that paper.
Use the buttons to toggle between your Paper Reference List and My References to view references you've already added to the paper and your collection of references (My References).
To add a reference to the paper, check the box next to the reference you would like to add, then select Add to Paper. To select multiple references to add to your paper, use the checkboxes to indicate all the references you’d like to include.
You can also add references to your paper by selecting the +Add Reference button. When using this option, the default is to search My References and those adapted from APA PsycINFO indexing, but you can also add new references to your collection using the +Create Reference button from this screen.
References can be added as a first step when you start a paper, or at any point as you write.
